Lailah – First soccer practice

Kinda behind on my postings – it was a busy weekend for me.

But, not doing it tonight, other than to say I had Lailah this afternoon for a couple hours before Jordan arrived to take her to her very first soccer “practice”. I got there about 15 mins late and it had just started to rain. She was such a little trooper – Jordan was on the ball by bringing a little girl (pink) rain slicker which she had on. I think there were about 6-7 other kids on this particular (pre-k 3yr old) team. She’s 1 of 2 girls. She did really good for her first time. The coach was very patient with all of them. They each had their own ball, and did a few “drills” (lol). My little girl even scored a few practice goals – at times a bit timid but that’s understandable. She needed some (OK, a lot of) encouragement but I think it was mostly due to the rain (more than just sprinkling). Next practice is Saturday and I know she’ll be better when it’s not raining. Can’t wait to see her play again. She looked so cute with her jersey (and “Lailah” on the back), socks, and cleats.

Jordan and Katie. Best. Parents. Ever.
